of the most appalling which had taken
place for many months. 1t needs per-
sons of strong nerves to calmly read
the details of the horrible catastrophe.
The question presents itself seriously.
is there no way of avoiding such ca
lamities? There certainly must be,
and the sooner the remedy is applied
the better. The cause of the accident
has been made known; it was over
much liquor drinking. Every railroad
company should, if possible, be held
responsible for the employment of men
who are in the practice of using intoxi'
eating drinks. None should be accept
ed for any position whatever in con-
necti0n with the roads who have not
been tested as thorough abstainers
from the curse of strong drink. Rail-
road companies should be held respon-
sible for accidents resulting from care.
'Iessness, induced by liquor-drinking en-
ployees. Towns are held responsible for
damages caused by defective bridges,
corporations are held liable for injuries
to persons from bad sidewalks. Travel
ers on railroads are obliged to rely on
all employees connected with the run
ming of the trains for their safety. 1t
is asking nothing unreasonable of rail-
road companies to dismiss from their
employment all who are known to in
dulge in the use of intoxicants.

WILAIOT.

!, A large number of friends and neigh-
bors of John g. Fleming assembled
Thursday evening, the 9th inst, to give
him farewell surprise before his depar-
ture for Madison. Although the rest of
the family were in the secret, so well
was the affair managed that thesurprise
was complete, but John soon recovered
his eemposure and at the earnest solici-
tation ofhis friends assumed his high
silk hat (the gift OF an admiring friend),
and was introduced as the Hon. John G..
Fleming amid much applause. The
guests numbered about forty, and were
all neighbors within a radius of two
miles. The evening was very pleasantly
spent in general sociability, charades
and music, due attention being paid to
abountiful supper. About twelve o'clock
the guests dispersed with many express
sions Of goodwill for the future of Ke-
nosha County's Representative.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Farmers Institutes are being held in
the northern counties in this state, in
the order of their appointment. The
institutes will continue to be drawing
nearer the southern part of the state,
and ultimately reach Kenosha county.
These farmers meetings gather
strength and Importance as they adj
vance. The meeting in each county
awakens an interest in the county
where the next meeting is to occur.
AS Kenosha county is among the last
on the list, it is reasonable to expect
that this county will have the benefit
of the popular wave in favor of the
Institute from the other counties in
the state.

REMEMBERING THE POOR,

Since the 1st of January, 1887, there
has been much wintry weather, and a
considerable portion of the time too
cold for outdoor employment. There
has necessarily been more or less
suffering among the poor, but it is a
satisfaction to learn that many of our
citizens have not been unmindful of
the wants of destitute families.
Whether all has been done that hui
manity requires is not definitely known,
and that there have been some neglects
is quite possible. II may, however,
safely be said, that no city of no larger
population than this has a greater
number of benevolent women who re.
gard the conditions of the poor. The
names of women are mentioned who
during the first week in January gave
all their spare time to preparing gar.
ments for destitute and poverty.clad
children, Of all the christian virtues
there is none more commendable than
remembering aud caring for the poor.
